Comment on Prove it wrong: the fediverse is not as connected as we're told, and it's splintering even more now.

I run my own Lemmy instance that just me and a few close friends. I federate with who I want so I can follow the communities I want and it always works fine. Big instances defederate from each other, but I’m federated with both and and so (so far) totally unaffected. I never have to make new accounts.
I DO pay about $25 a month in hosting fees, plus do the server maintenance work for these privileges. It’s a price I am HAPPY to pay.

Thanks for your response, was actually thinking of also creating a personal instance, for a small group only, then one can play around and set things there as you would want.
Stupid question: to just play around or experiment, would it be possible to install say a Mastodon, Kbin and Friendica instances on one server if it’s just one person that’s playing around to test the behind the scenes and see what they can do?

Possible? Yes. But the web server configurations might be hard to figure out for someone who’s unfamiliar.
